Have spent the last few weeks in NT.

We noticed an almost complete lack of wildlife lap apart from birds. Roads travelled included Isa - Tennant Creek - Alice, East Macs, West Macs, Palm Valley, Kings Canyon, Curtins Springs, Yulara and GSR to Laverton.

Did not see a roo, wallaby, emu, wombat, lizards or snakes and we camp out quite a bit, and no road kill apart from cattle and a few camels on the GSR.

Saw Camels, brumbys, donkeys and a few dingoes with the latter mostly around campsites.

We appreciate that many of our native animals are nocturnal and we don't drive at night. But we were very surprised to see nothing in the way of native animals.

Anybody have any facts to explain this ( we do wear spectacles and they were on the whole time )?

Cheers John
